Libra Theater Company

Libra's Mission

The name Libra comes from the Zodiac sign hovering over most of the month of October. Libra, the scale, stands for balance. Not all theater artists have the luxury of devoting a significant portion of their days to auditions, classes, and networking. Some have to maintain a full-time job. Some aren’t willing to go without health insurance. Some have family commitments. But these ones who get left behind in the shuffle are sometimes the most talented.

This is where Libra steps in. While maintaining creative and artistic integrity in this demanding New York theater community, Libra creates opportunities for these artists. Rather than leaving them to constantly wonder What if, we provide them with a theatrical home that works with their other responsibilities. In this way, we help maintain balance in our artists’ lives, giving them the option to not lay aside their dreams.

Libra Theater Company believes that all artists, in order to truly succeed, must maintain a balance between art and everyday responsibility.

Our mission is to create quality New York theater that honors the commitments of our artists.
